Dr. Helene Gayle interviews Nicholas Kristof
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the ONE Blog the last couple weeks, you’re no doubt aware of Nicholas Kristof’s and Sheryl WuDunn’s new book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide.
Today I came across this great discussion, courtesy of CARE, between Nicholas Kristof and Dr. Helene Gayle:
If you’ve read Half the Sky we’d love to know what you think of it!

Half the Sky does a great job of explaining very clearly what the issues are affecting women around the world, how they affect all of us, and what we can do about it. I think it gains credibility by also discussing the efforts that have NOT been successful. The best part of the book is the guide in the back that gives you “Four Things You Can Do in the Next Ten Minutes.” A great catalyst to get you moving when you are wondering how one person can make a difference. I have already tried all four things, and have gotten together with a friend to plan our first fundraising event. A very inspiring book that I will be recommending to all of my friends!
